Piezoresistive strain sensors respond to a mechanically induced deformation with a change in their electrical resistance. Large strain flexible strain sensors have been adopted for numerous applications including rehabilitation, health and sport performance monitoring as well as physiology and kinesiology applications. Although development of these flexible strain sensors has reached a level of maturity, design […]

La relation entre les variables météorologiques et la santé humaine, bien qu’abondamment étudiée, demeure difficile à préciser. Au Québec, les seuils d’alerte initialement développés pour la chaleur et mortalité toutes causes, doivent être adaptés pour d’autres impacts sanitaires spécifiques pouvant être liés à des phénomènes météorologiques comme le froid extrême, le verglas, ou encore les […]

Overall this study aims to determine feasibility, parameters, and processes related to improved utilization of selected byproducts resulting from Corner Brook Pulp and Paper Limited (CBPPL) operations. The proposed activities and ideas relate to monitoring and understanding the nature of the composition of the mill’s production of wood ash over time, determining the suitability, feasibility […]

Pile foundations have been widely used in many offshore structures and oil and gas development programs such as tension leg platfonn, jack up platfonn, spar platfonn, and mooring of floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) units. The FPSO units are usually moored to the seabed with various kinds of anchors, including offshore piles. These piles […]

Notre but est d’améliorer la capacité des compagnies à concevoir et entretenir des jeux vidéo multijoueur en utilisant les théories développées par les écologistes pour comprendre le comportement des animaux (par exemple pour comprendre pourquoi les lions préfèrent chasser en groupe plutôt que seul). Nous analyserons les tactiques de jeu utilisées par les joueurs dans […]

Mathematical modeling is a powerful tool to understand fluid flow mechanisms, well performance and future resources recovery in petroleum industry. Better and more powerful tool can lead to better reservoir management and more oil production with less cost and less environmental impact. This project, collaborating with Saskatchewan Research Council, aims to improve the current mathematical […]

Ultra-reliable and low latency communication is increasingly an important aspect of future wireless communications. Specifically, in the context of mission critical communications for large-scale networks of sensors and actuators in automated and/or remote-control applications, low-latency wireless communication with high level of determinism is a vital element. The key performance indicators for such use case are […]

Heart’s electrical activities are traditionally collected by employing multiple electrodes that are connected the patient’s body and collected and recorded on an electrocardiogram. The objective of this project is to enhance the patient’s comfort and allow for a continues ECG monitoring with improved flexibility while minimizing the sacrifices of detected and accumulated data. In this […]

Research problem: Reclamation practices in regions known to be undergoing rapid climate change must consider what adaptive measures could be implemented to maximize short-term reclamation success and long-term resilience of reclaimed sites. Objectives: I will investigate how a multi-scale ecological classification system can be used to predict regeneration success of different forest tree species at […]

The project aims at accomplishing the real-time delineation of both Seismocardiogram and Gyrocardiogram signals (which are associated with different stages of the cardiovascular cycle) and effectively extracting cardiac performance metrics (fiducial points) for use in a non-invasive portable diagnostic tool as the deviations of the either timing or amplitude can be indicative of abnormality in […]

We recently developed a rapid and cost-effective pre-clinical technology that is well suited for precision medicine –the ex ovo chicken embryo ChorioAllantoic Membrane (CAM) assay. Our goal is to perform a pilot study that combines tumor genotyping data and the use of personalized CAMavatars, to predict drug sensitivity in renal cancer patients and to test […]

Globally cities are expanding and this has a negative impact on natural systems. Green infrastructure (GI), such as green roofs, retention ponds, or urban tree canopies, is used to mitigate the impacts of extreme weather and provide resources for people in the city. However, GI can also provide a benefit for native species and wildlife […]
